About the event
In celebration of America’s 250th anniversary, paranormal investigator and author Barry Pirro has put together a special lecture on hauntings associated with the Revolutionary War. Learn how the ghosts of Washington, Jefferson, Hamilton and other important historic figures are said to roam the earth to this very day. Hear about the haunting at the West Point Military Academy, "The Screaming Woman" at Fort Mifflin, and the haunting at Trinity Church in Manhattan, and listen to a chilling recording of the ghost of a slave girl captured by Barry at the John Jay Homestead. In addition to telling ghostly tales, the attendees will also be treated to a mini history lesson about our ghostly founding fathers, and about the legends that have grown up around them over the last 250 years.
